Philip Bourneuf is a Actor American born on 7 january 1908 at Somerville (USA)
Philip Bourneuf (January 7, 1908, Somerville, Massachusetts - March 23, 1979, Santa Monica, California) was an American character actor who had a long stage career before appearing in films.
A founding member of the Actors Studio, one of Bourneuf's more memorable roles was as the district attorney who maneuvers the apparently innocent Dana Andrews into the electric chair in Beyond a Reasonable Doubt (1956). His last screen role was in the 1976 television mini-series Captains and the Kings.
Bourneuf made three guest appearances on Perry Mason. In 1960, he played Asa Culver in "The Case of the Prudent Prosecutor." In 1963 he played murder victim Edgar Thorne in "The Case of the Lawful Lazarus," and in 1965 he played defendant Victor Montalvo in "The Case of the Golden Girls." He also appeared in other television series like Alfred Hitchcock Presents and Dr.
Les deux dernières de ses pièces à Broadway — auxquelles s'ajoutent deux comédies musicales et une revue — sont Caligula d'Albert Camus (1960, avec Ed Binns et Colleen Dewhurst) et Un grand avocat d'Henry Denker (1963-1964, avec Sidney Blackmer et Van Heflin).
Au cinéma, il contribue à seulement quatorze films américains, les trois premiers sortis en 1944, dont le court métrage Salut à la France de Jean Renoir et Garson Kanin (avec Claude Dauphin et Burgess Meredith), ainsi que le long métrage Winged Victory de George Cukor (avec Lon McCallister et Jeanne Crain, Philip Bourneuf y reprenant son rôle créé à Broadway en 1943, dans la pièce éponyme adaptée).
Suivent entre autres Jeanne d'Arc de Victor Fleming (1948, avec Ingrid Bergman dans le rôle-titre, lui-même personnifiant Jean d'Estivet), L'Invraisemblable Vérité de Fritz Lang (1956, avec Dana Andrews et Joan Fontaine) et L'Arrangement d'Elia Kazan (1969, avec Kirk Douglas et Faye Dunaway).
Ses deux derniers films sortent en 1972, dont Peter et Tillie (avec Walter Matthau et Carol Burnett dans les rôles-titre) de Martin Ritt, déjà croisé plusieurs fois à Broadway (dès 1943, dans Winged Victory précitée) comme au grand écran.
À la télévision américaine, il apparaît dans soixante séries, la première en 1949 (dédiée à l'Actors Studio, dont il était alors membre). Ultérieurement, mentionnons Alfred Hitchcock présente (deux épisodes, 1958-1961), Perry Mason (trois épisodes, 1960-1965) et Search (un épisode, 1972).
Au petit écran toujours — où il participe aussi à sept téléfilms entre 1953 et 1975 —, Philip Bourneuf tient son dernier rôle dans la mini-série Captains and the Kings, diffusée en 1976 (trois ans avant sa mort à 71 ans, en 1979).

Rating63%
Unlike the play Joan of Lorraine, which is a drama that shows how the story of Joan affects a group of actors who are performing it, the film is a straightforward recounting of the life of the French heroine. It begins with an obviously painted shot of the inside of a basilica with a shaft of light, possibly descending from heaven, shining down from the ceiling, and a solemn off-screen voice pronouncing the canonization of the Maid of Orleans. Then, the opening page of what appears to be a church manuscript recounting Joan's life in Latin is shown on the screen, while some uncredited voiceover narration by actor Shepperd Strudwick sets up the tale. The actual story of Joan then begins, from the time she becomes convinced that she has been divinely called to save France to her being burnt at the stake at the hands of the English and the Burgundians.
